Chapter 487 It’s just a head
"Sure enough, you're right down there, meow! Five hundred and fifty-fourth floor, meow!" Zhupa was the first to jump down the narrow and long stairs.
Hayata followed closely behind, "I counted five hundred and fifty-six floors."
“Meow, meow, meow? Are humans and Elu different cats?”
Zhupa looked back at the stairs suspiciously, "Gordon counted five hundred and fifty-six levels of meow at that time. Pandan, how many levels of meow did you count?"
Under the gazes of Hayata and Zhupa, Pandan trembled her beard and her eyes wandered, "Five, five hundred, five hundred and fifty-five levels, meow!"
“Tell the truth, meow.”
".Even numbers are messed up, meow."
“Meow meow!”
“I’ll count meows again!” Xianglan was unconvinced and wanted to run back, but Hayata pulled her back again.
Counting the stairs was just to distract Pandan, which seemed to be too much.
“Cheer up, we’re almost there.” Hayata reminded her while rubbing Pandan’s furry head.
Xianglan stiffened when she heard this.
Once he realized this, the suffocating sense of oppression suddenly hit him like a tide from all directions.
If it felt like being stared at by some kind of terrifying monster before, now it feels like it has been taken into its mouth by that monster.
“Meow!” Xianglan shrank again.
Pork Chop's expression became serious, "To be honest, Meow, Xianglan, you'd better stop here, Meow. I provoked you before, but if you have reached your limit, you will really go crazy if you continue to move forward, Meow."
After thinking for a while, it added, "If I had come alone instead of traveling with Gordon, I might have gone crazy."
Hayata also nodded, "You don't have to force yourself."
Xianglan scratched her ears frantically, and then suddenly grabbed the reply flute on her chest, blowing hard as if to blow away her fear.
——.
“Although, although I won’t be of much use this time, I am Hayata’s hunting partner, meow! As long as Hayata can continue to move forward, I can do it too, meow!”
“I’m so enlightened, meow! Then let’s rush over in one go, meow!”
Pork Chop pointed at the dark area ahead that could not be illuminated by light, "We are not coming to face it with fear, we are here to blow it up!"
“Blow it up, meow!”
“Chong meow!”
"Meow meow meow!"
Pork Chop took Pandan and ran out on all fours.
Hayata was stunned for a moment. Seeing the two Ellu meowing and charging forward excitedly, the uneasiness in her heart also dissipated a little.
“Hoo~.” She breathed lightly, took steps, and chased the Ellu in front.
“As Senior Gordon said, in the final analysis, it is just a head that was chopped off countless years ago.”
Different from the cautious approach when they came last time, under the leadership of Pig Chop running at full speed, the huge black stone tower soon appeared in front of them.
“The head is right up there, meow.”
Zhupa pointed to the top of the black stone tower and said to Hayata and the others: "I can finish it alone next time, you can wait here for a while.
I have faced it directly, no problem, meow. "
Xianglan said dissatisfiedly: "There's so much nonsense, it's all here, meow!"
“Don’t worry about us, Pig Chop.” Halfway through Hayata’s words, he suddenly frowned.
She noticed something unusual.
“Pork chop, although you have indeed faced it, it does not mean that there will be no risk when you face it again. The plan for joint action throughout the entire process was formulated from the beginning.
Accompanying each other, supervising each other, and reminding each other, this is the real reason why we enter the ruins together, have you forgotten? "
"Meow?"
Pig Chop held his head and thought for a while, "I have not forgotten these things, it's just that the final coordination and placement of the explosives only need to be done by me.
I understand what you mean, but Hayata, is it possible that your thinking has been confused? Why do you have to face the head in person? "
ˆ “.”
Hayata didn’t know how to answer for a while.
Xianglan blinked at the side, "Pork Chop is so annoying, Meow. If you think we shouldn't go up, why do you have to annoy meow?"
He also took us to the Black Stone Tower and asked us to stop at the stairs. Meow? "
Pork Chop was also stunned when he heard this.
From their respective perspectives, these choices and judgments seemed to be logical, but from another perspective, something seemed wrong. In the end, they could not tell who had the problem.
In other words, there is a problem with everyone.
Patting his cheek hard, Hayata said in a deep voice: "It is unreasonable for us to spend time discussing these things now.
Although I am a bit arbitrary, from now on, everything will be done according to what I say. "
“Good meow!” Xianglan agreed without hesitation.
Pork Chop also nodded, "This is more efficient, meow."
“Before departure, we have determined the plan, so we will strictly follow the plan.”
Hayata glanced at the Black Stone Tower, "I will repeat the plan. Pork Chop will go with me, and Pandan will lie behind me and close her eyes for a few seconds.
After facing the head, if I don’t react within half a minute, Pig Chop will scratch me awake and make a sound. If neither Pig Chop nor I move, Pandan, who has her eyes always closed, will wake me up by scratching me. "
“Good meow!”
“I understand, meow.”
“There’s no time to delay, Pandan, come on up.”
“Meow!” Xianglan jumped up and grabbed the backpack behind Hayata.
“Everyone, be mentally prepared. Let’s go up the stairs now.” Hayata held up the wind lantern and walked step by step to the top of the Black Stone Tower.
As he continued to move upward, Hayata could feel his heart beating faster and faster.
If you were to take a knife at this time, the blood would be very high.
No, what am I thinking?
Even though she had undergone mental construction countless times, she still felt that her mind was in a mess.
It's just a head that has been chopped off long ago. It's just a head. It's just a head.
Hayata kept saying to herself in her heart.
Unconsciously, the platform at the top of the Black Stone Tower was already in sight.
“Panlan, start counting the seconds and make your voice louder.”
“.Good, good meow!”
Xianglan closed her eyes tightly and her voice trembled, "One! Two"
“Pork chop, let’s go up.”
“Good meow.”
Hayata and Pork Chop took a deep breath at the same time and stepped up the last few steps.
Dark golden pupils.
Blood, breath, thoughts, and even the ethereal soul all froze at the moment they looked into this pupil.
The sound of pandan was so close behind my ears for a few seconds, but it seemed as far away and blurry as the horizon.
“Five, five, five”
Why does it keep shouting five? What number is after five?
What is in front of me, what do I see? Hayata felt that her thoughts were extremely chaotic, and her soul and heart seemed to be torn into two parts.
“It’s just a head, it’s just a head”
What is this sound? It feels very familiar, ah, this is my own voice, the voice I have been chanting in my heart.
It's just a head.
Hayata suddenly woke up with a start.
She gasped for breath, cold sweat soaked her shirt, and Pandan's voice for several seconds returned to normal in her ears, "Six! Seven! Eight."
Did only a moment pass?
Hayata turned to look at Pig Chop, and just in time, Pig Chop shivered twice and regained consciousness.
“No matter how many times I see it, it still feels scary, meow.”
Pork Chop's voice was trembling, and it also looked at Hayata, "Meow? Hayata has woken up, meow, it's really awesome, meows faster than Gordon!"
Hayata patted Pandan’s little head lying behind her and said, “It’s okay, we’re fine.”
“Are you really okay, meow?” Xianglan still didn’t dare to open her eyes.
"Um."
Hayata looked at the rotten head again. The sharp teeth and horns were still as ferocious as ever, and the only remaining dark golden eye was always emitting an ominous light.
But that’s all.
“As Senior Gordon said, it’s just a head.”
